Best bluetooth headset with in-ear headphones

[Garret88]

I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus with Jeally Bean stock.

I love to listen to podcasts (BeyondPod Pro) and speak on voip applications like Skype, Viber and CSipSimple (a sip client).

Since I really hate wired earphones I would like to buy a wireless bluetooth headsets with in-ear buds. Some examples of these kind of products are:

- Sony Ericsson MW600
- Nokia BH-111
- Samsung HS3000 (no media player keys)
- Jabra Clipper (no media player keys)

These headsets have around the same price where I live (Northern Europe), but for example the last two lack media player buttons so I was more focused on buy the first one, the Sony Ericsson MW600.

My first concern is if all the buttons are going to work with the applications I use, as well as the incorporated microphone in voip applications.

As I already wrote before I use BeyondPod Pro to listen to podcasts and for me the volume buttons and the play/pause buttons would be vital.

At the same time I heard that voip applications like Skype don't recognize the microphone built on the headset. This would be really a problem since I should use the phone to call making the whole headset useless. I also use Viber (another voip application similar to Skype) and CSipSimple. In this case the volume button and the answer/terminate call button should be essential.

Other applications I use are MXPlayer Pro and YouTube for watching videos and Google music to listen to music.


What I want to ask is to know if someone has already these kinds of headsets and can confirm if these buttons and the microphone are all recognized, or if you know other devices which work for sure.

Thanks in advance!

I have the Sony MW-600. It really is a great product. Sounds as good as any Bluetooth headset, all the buttons work with the media players I've tried including Google music. It does well with receiving and hanging up phone calls.

Bluetooth Audio sounds nearly as good as a wired connection, especially if you replace the earbuds with your own. I have the Sony EX-51 earbuds that also have a short cord.

I have answered the phone during workouts and no one complained about voice quality. Windy days have caused wind noise though.

I can't vouch for VOIP performance and whether buttons work, but it is a great product. I could test it with Tango.

So in summary, the Sony is awesome with media players and the stock phone apps, but I don't know about VOIP.

@patruns: I am searching for devices which work for sure, not just making the list longer

@dmark44: could you please try applications like skype and beyondpod. Skype if the mic and the answer/terminate call button works and beyondpod (there is a free version in the play store) works with the play/pause button. And if the volume buttons work in all the applications.

I would like to have a feedback for the applications I use but I understand they could be a lot.

Do you also see the caller id in the oled screen? If not which kind of information you see?
